Keep it up fellows.

The truth hurts, I know.

Republicans let Wall Street run Ponzi schemes which destroy the economy.

While Republicans promote themselves as the friendliest party for Wall Street, stock investors do better when Democrats occupy the White House. From a dollars- and-cents standpoint, it’s not even close.

The BGOV Barometer shows that, over the five decades since John F. Kennedy was inaugurated, $1,000 invested in a hypothetical fund that tracks the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (SPX) only when Democrats are in the White House would have been worth $10,920 at the close of trading yesterday.

That’s more than nine times the dollar return an investor would have realized from following a similar strategy during Republican administrations. A $1,000 stake invested in a fund that followed the S&P 500 under Republican presidents, starting with Richard Nixon, would have grown to $2,087 on the day George W. Bush left office.

So basically obamaturd lied then, right? Keep trying to make dimwits look good, the sound of lefty idiots falling on their faces is quite funny.

Interesting that the original poster decided to start with JFK/Nixon instead of Truman. From 1953 to 1959 under Republican white house, the markets went from 290 to 594, a 105% increase. Removing those years from the data set is understandable for someone with an agenda.

Also interesting that the original posted ignored congressional control, as if the president is the entire government.

Also interesting that the original poster ignored inflation. Perhaps he should measure stock market performance vs a commodity instead of vs a dollar.

(FYI Inflation causes all prices to increase, including stocks)

Also interesting that he hasn't replied since the data on stock market vs congressional control was posted. And yes, I'm the same landonswan.

Is Socialist Security fiscallay sound? Do those that pay into it pass what they contributed on to thier families? Answer to both NO.

Social Security works exactly like a Ponzi scheme. It takes money from current contributors and gives it to earlier contributors. It was designed by FDR to take older Americans out of the workforce to make the unemployment figures (and FDR) look better. The first recipient, Ida May Fuller, paid a total of $22.54 into Social Security, and got paid $22,888.92. That is totally outrageous!


At present? It takes 16 active workers to support ONE Socialist Security recipient. Just wait until more 'Boomers' retire.

 

[Chris]

Social Security is solvent for the next 25 years.

But the Republicans are putting up this smoke screen so their masters on Wall Street can get their hands on all that delicious retirement money.
